Gutted Star Wars turned to chair!?! WHY GOD WHY!!!
« on: January 23, 2012, 01:38:22 pm »
This Ebay listing is the most sinful thing I have ever seen.

I PM’d the seller asking if they kept the "guts" and would be willing to sell to me.  I'm pretty much in shock at this point.

Yeah, like I'm gonna search the forums for dumbest use of a Starwars cab before posting that POS.   :laugh2:

This at least documents that its still looking for a home  :lol

Based on the picture (slightly different angle) I'm hoping that it hasn't moved in the last several years then and hopefully some of the components are lying dormant in a box somewhere nearby.  Maybe there is something to be salvaged from this abortion.

I miss epic fail guy's epic fails.  He hasn't built anything worthy of ridicule for quite a long time.  (I check his ebay auctions at least once a month)

We should start a pool of how many times in a year this chair gets re-posted here.
Here's the first for 2012! How many more times folks??

Seller responded.  Cab was pieced out years ago.  All that remains is the chair... and that sweet phone.

Why a chair...... I don't get it.



Now if someone turned a tapper into a kegerator......damnit where can I find an old tapper shell?

Funny you should say that.  I noticed this yesterday, but it's not close enough to me.

there is some really scary cabs in those links. most of them have screens way to small for the cab and when the screen is to small for the cab it looks so lame. there is some epic brown paint of doom failure in there though.
